Basically the more intense the heat the star is giving off the brighter the star will appear to be.

For example, let's say there is a red colored star and a white colored star in the vicinity of the planet you're currently on to observe them.

The red colored star is giving off light at the visible spectrum that reveals red most prominently.

I'm not 100% sure how the colors line up but I do know that red is a lower frequency wavelength of light then pure white.

This means that the higher the temperature of the star the brighter light it will give off, by bright of course I mean the higher frequency colors slowly approaching pure white light.
